Stability and Fluctuations in Complex Ecological Systems
Eric Forgoston, Sarah Day, Peter C. de Ruiter +24
From 08-12 August, 2022, 32 individuals participated in a workshop, Stability and Fluctuations in Complex Ecological Systems, at the Lorentz Center, located in Leiden, The Netherla…
Impacts of density-dependent predation, cannibalism and fishing in a stage-structured population model of the blue crab in Chesapeake Bay
Fangming Xu, Leah B. Shaw, Junping Shi +1
The blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) is a dominant ecological species of high commercial value. Spawning stock and recruitment of the Chesapeake Bay population declined by 80% in th…
Intervention Strategies for Epidemics: Does Ignoring Time Delay Lead to Incorrect Predictions?
Adrienna Bingham, Leah B. Shaw
Our paper investigates distributions of exposed and infectious time periods in an epidemic model and how applying a disease control strategy affects the model's accuracy. While ord…
Rare Event Extinction on Stochastic Networks
Brandon S. Lindley, Leah B. Shaw, Ira B. Schwartz
We consider the problem of extinction processes on random networks with a given structure. For sufficiently large well-mixed populations, the process of extinction of one or more s…
Effects of community structure on epidemic spread in an adaptive network
Ilker Tunc, Leah B. Shaw
When an epidemic spreads in a population, individuals may adaptively change the structure of their social contact network to reduce risk of infection. Here we study the spread of a…
Converging towards the optimal path to extinction
Ira B. Schwartz, Eric Forgoston, Simone Bianco +1
Extinction appears ubiquitously in many fields, including chemical reactions, population biology, evolution, and epidemiology. Even though extinction as a random process is a rare…
